History

Auto Avia Design commenced trading in May 1989 as a sole trader consultancy and was incorporated as Auto Avia Design Pty Ltd (ABN 98 002 793 053) in July 1992.
Since 1989, the organisation has grown steadily to become one of the most active independent aviation design and certification organisations in Australia.
Auto Avia Design is particularly proud of its first class reputation, work quality and cooperation with the Australian National Airworthiness Authority: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

The organisation was originally established to provide service in three areas that were perceived to be either not serviced or inadequately serviced by existing design organisations:

  • Design and certification of fixed and rotary wing EMS/SAR/special equipment and installations.
  • Professional engineering support for growing regional airlines.
  • Design, testing and documentation support for Australian military aviation.

This core business has been expanded to include major inter-state and international airlines, contract design and certification of OEM products for major manufacturers.
